Hey folks,

It's not a very big issue that I'm having here, just one that'd I'd like
to be able to explain the behavior of.

One of my servers is mounting '/dev/sda3' as '/dev/root' instead.  Pretty
bizzare.  Here's the output of `df`:

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root              8119776   2930244   4777064  39% /
/dev/sdb1             35001508  11298308  21925208  35% /home
none                    452068         0    452068   0% /dev/shm


And the relevant section of `/etc/fstab`:

# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/sda1               /boot           ext3    noauto,noatime          1 1
/dev/sda3               /               ext3    noatime                 0 0
/dev/sdb1               /home           ext3    noatime                 0 0
/dev/sda2               none            swap    sw                      0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0      /mnt/cdrom      iso9660 noauto,ro,user          0 0
/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy     auto    noauto,user             0 0
proc                    /proc           proc    defaults                0 0

both symlinks are pointing to the correct device:

# ls -al /dev/sda3
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root           34 Aug 16 14:03 /dev/sda3 ->
scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/part3

# ls -al /dev/root
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root           34 Aug 16 14:02 /dev/root ->
scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/part3

Just curious why it would be showing as "/dev/root" when it should be
mounting as "/dev/sda3".  This is the only server I have that behaves like
this...

thanks!
